TabletMark v3 is the latest version of the benchmarking software from BAPCo and it aims to measure the user experience for light productivity and multimedia. As we have seen with the latest PCMark software from Futuremark, we have multiple test scenarios:

 

-Web and Email

-Photo and Video sharing

-Video Playback

The software is available for Windows 8.1 and 8.1 RT, Android 4.3+ but also for iOS 7+ OS versions. As extra requirements we would remind 2GB of RAM and at least 2GB of available storage space. Tablets with screen diagonals of 7+ inches are accepted and the minimal supported resolution is 1024x768. The application also supports the latest 64-bit ARM and x86 CPUs.

At the moment of the review, the iOS version of the benchmark is not yet available to the public via App Store, but it should appear there later on.

After downloading the software, we will see the GUI of TabletMark, which includes the currently installed version, the selection of test categories, the name of the running project which we can fully customize and also the number of iterations. From the same area we can select if we will perform a conditioning run or a battery rundown. To the right we have the Results tab, one Help tab but also the About tab:

The results tab is split into multiple columns like Project Name, running Date, TabletMark rating, Battery Life Rating but also Submission Status:

Let’s get a bit in more detail regarding the included test scenarios; first we have Web and Email, which includes simulated Web Browsing with 34 page loads and includes HTML 5, CSS, JavaScript technologies but also video tags.
